Seriously, it's either Rock/Metal or Hip-Hop/Rap around here. Does anyone here like R&B? R. Kelly, Trey Songz, The-Dream, Chris Brown, Akon, Craig David, Brian McKnight all are amazing musicians. Even R&B has good females like Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Keri Hilson. Why doesn't anyone like R&B and give it a chance, usally all the rock/heavy metal lovers see something about hip-hop and say something bad about it. How about giving the actual genre a chance? If you wanna try hip-hop, dont listen to Soulja Boy then say hip-hop is horrible, listen to Eminem, Drake, J.Cole. Same thing goes for the rap/hip-hop heads. Dont judge a genre and don't give it a chance just because you have heard two songs on the radio.

R. Kelly is probably the greatest R&B artist ever. And Akon is great too, but he is now moving on to house/techno projects a lot  |

Dont judge a genre and don't give it a chance just because you have heard two songs on the radio. I'm a Rock/Metal guy myself and I can safely say the only rapper I will listen to is Eminem. As for the topic at hand I dunno why but I've just never got into R&B as much. The main reason I think is because I like things at really high tempos... that's one of the main reasons I'm a Rock/Metal guy. Plus I find lyrics to be more relateable in every facet of my life rather than R&B. |

I like r&b. Out of the people you listed, I like R. Kelly, Akon, Craig David, & Trey Songz. Some other people I like are: Mayer Hawthorne John Legend Alicia Keys Aloe Blacc Amy Winehouse Erykah Badu Raphael Saadiq Darien Brockington Raheem DeVaughn Tyler Woods Mary J. Blige etc. I also listen to a lot of old school r&b. My favorite voices ever are probably Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and David Ruffin. 3 of my favorite somewhat recent r&b songs: www.youtube.com/watch#!v=HhuGQUZJot8&feature=relatedI normally don't buy full r&b albums like I do with HipHop music, but I love r&b as a whole... just can't sit through a whole album. |
